There was a similar issue when you searched by customer. BMC deemed that a bug and provided a fix for it. The defect for that issue was SW00412940. There may be a similar fix for your issue.
The gist of it was, the customer field gave varying results depending on if you entered the name (based on how you have your customer lookup configured) and pressed return or if you just entered the name and didn't press enter. Pressing return populated hidden fields with data that may or may not be relevant for the particular search you are performing. For example, the customer changed locations. You don't care that they moved from site a to site b (which was part of the data being populated). You just want to see that customer's tickets. In our case, it was as Shawn describes. We were searching a mix of tickets that were created new in 7.6.04 and some that were migrated in from 5.5. In your case, selecting from the menu, is probably doing a similar data call and set. Again, as Shawn pointed out, depending on where and how the ticket was created, the data being called might be different. BTW, we're on 7.6.04 SP2 and I do not have the issue you describe. Are you up to SP2?

I've not seen this behavior before, but I would try to identify at least one example that does show up at all times and one example that doesn't, and do a comparison via a select statement against HPD_Help_Desk of both records to try to find a pattern. Thanks, Shawn Pierson Remedy Developer | Energy Transfer From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Sanford, Claire Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2012 2:28 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: ITSM 7.6.04 - Assigned Group Search on INC form. ** When searching for tickets in the HPD:Help Desk form using the Assigned Group*+ field, the values returned are not consistent. If I just put the group name in the field, it returns one value, if I use the drop down, it returns another value. Neither is the complete number of tickets. If I use a hidden field and the group ID instead of the group name in the advanced search bar, I get the complete number of tickets e.g. '1000000079' = "SGP000000000243". The problem with this is my users can't do this. Well, they can, but they don't know what to do and it is not as easy as just selecting the drop down or typing in the group name. Any ideas?
